Construction of Mendelsohn designs by using quasigroups of ( 2 , q ) -varieties

Lidija Goračinova-Ilieva, Smile Markovski (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let q be a positive integer. An algebra is said to have the property ( 2 , q ) if all of its subalgebras generated by two distinct elements have exactly q elements. A variety 𝒱 of algebras is a variety with the property ( 2 , q ) if every member of 𝒱 has the property ( 2 , q ) . Such varieties exist only in the case of q prime power. By taking the universes of the subalgebras of any finite algebra of a variety with the property ( 2 , q ) , 2 < q , blocks of Steiner system of type ( 2 , q ) are obtained. The stated correspondence between Steiner...

Construction of the mutually orthogonal extraordinary supersquares

Cristian Ghiu, Iulia Ghiu (2014)

Open Mathematics

Our purpose is to determine the complete set of mutually orthogonal squares of order d, which are not necessary Latin. In this article, we introduce the concept of supersquare of order d, which is defined with the help of its generating subgroup in 𝔽 d × 𝔽 d . We present a method of construction of the mutually orthogonal supersquares. Further, we investigate the orthogonality of extraordinary supersquares, a special family of squares, whose generating subgroups are extraordinary. The extraordinary subgroups...

Construction, properties and applications of finite neofields

Anthony Donald Keedwell (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We give a short account of the construction and properties of left neofields. Most useful in practice seem to be neofields based on the cyclic group and particularly those having an additional divisibility property, called D-neofields. We shall give examples of applications to the construction of orthogonal latin squares, to the design of tournaments balanced for residual effects and to cryptography.

Constructions for type I trees with nonisomorphic Perron branches

Stephen J. Kirkland (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A tree is classified as being type I provided that there are two or more Perron branches at its characteristic vertex. The question arises as to how one might construct such a tree in which the Perron branches at the characteristic vertex are not isomorphic. Motivated by an example of Grone and Merris, we produce a large class of such trees, and show how to construct others from them. We also investigate some of the properties of a subclass of these trees. Throughout, we exploit connections between...

Constructions over tournaments

Jaroslav Ježek (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We investigate tournaments that are projective in the variety that they generate, and free algebras over partial tournaments in that variety. We prove that the variety determined by three-variable equations of tournaments is not locally finite. We also construct infinitely many finite, pairwise incomparable simple tournaments.
